Relentless

That is how I feel about this winter... relentless. It just feels as if it has been snow storm after snow storm after snow storm. The temperatures have remained below 30°F for weeks now so the snow hasn't melted a bit. It just keeps piling up. Our backyard is practically non existent, it is just feet of snow. Our poor little doggies only have access to the driveway to take care of their business.

As if all this snow everywhere wasn't enough, we have a warm front coming through in two days, bringing thunderstorms along with it. Rain plus the snow melt will most likely produce flooding. Flooding that will most likely end up in our basement. Grrrr. This is this worst winter we've endured here in Northeast Ohio in many, many moons. I can't wait for it to be over! Think Spring I keep telling myself! Think spring!! On a lighter note, the last pic is my adorable husband shoveling our elderly neighbors driveway after shoveling ours! <3 Love him!!

Keep your fingers crossed that we don't flood!!

A Vintage Valentine

Three vintage Valentine’s day cards dating back to the late 1920’s, early 1930’s. All of the cards are made out to a Eugene Caroniti from various classmates. I found the cards a few weeks back at an antique store in Oberlin, Ohio. Upon doing a little research of the name Eugene Caroniti, I found a census record of him. He was born in 1921 in Lorain, Ohio as Joseph Eugene Caroniti. He would be 93 years old if he were alive today.

Have a lovely Valentine's Day!

Chinese New Year 2014: In with the HORSE, out with the SNAKE!

People around the world celebrated Chinese New Year on Jan. 31st, with festivals, fireworks and the color red. You are a horse if you were born in: 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014. People born in the Year of the Horse are strong minded, energetic and very sociable.

I have some great gifts available in my vintage shop for that special “horse” in your life!! Just search “HORSE” in my shop!

Happy New Year!

My 2014 New Year Resolutions via ETSY

2014 is going to be the year I focus solely on my vintage shop, Suite 22. This year will be about taking a leap of faith, trusting my intuitions, dreaming big & growing my business. To do this, I must let go of fears that have held me back in the past. I must listen to learn, make wise choices, and be grateful to those who stand by me and support me. I must learn to trust myself, but not to trust so easily in others. I will make mistakes but I will try again! To inspire me to stick with my resolutions I created an etsy treasury list that highlights my goals. Please check it out by clicking here. 

I wish you all the best in the coming New Year!

Vintage Junkie Strikes Again

I know it’s 3 days from Christmas and there’s still a few gifts to buy and a ton of wrapping to do but I couldn't help myself. It’s in my blood, I had to hit the last flea market of the year, and boy did I find a few treasures! My favorite finds? The 50-60 year old handwoven Mexican serape that I got for a steal, like literally, I almost felt bad. Almost. My second favorite, the old glass cylinder bank with a spring loaded lock, circa 1930’s. Plus, I received an early Christmas present from my favorite supplier/friend: an old 1922 railroad nail! My lucky number!

Weekend Recap #1

Happy Holidays all! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and are on track to have an amazing Christmas. Things have been kind of crazy around here with the shop since black Friday so I apologize for my lack of posts. We did get to hit a few estate sales this past weekend and it was perfect timing right after a snowfall. So we had a beautiful drive through the Ohio countryside full of snow to put is in the Christmas spirit! Here is a recap of our past weekend via instagram photos:
